Okay, i have been working on this map for a while now, and i think its the best that i can do. :D So here goes...my map i made for the template contest just so you guys know.

First off, i'd like to point out that this map is completely symmetrical, so both bases have the same things.

Weapon Summary:
14 BRs
12 Plasma Grenades
4 SMGs
4 Spikers
2 Snipers
2 Plasma Pistols
2 Brute Shots
2 Bubble Shields
1 Rocket Launcher
1 Shotgun
1 Power Drainer
1 Regeneration power-up
1 Invisibility
1 Overshield

This map was NOT budget glitched.

Here is the map! :D

This picture shows the warthog spawn and the gooses spawn as well. on top of the shotgun room is where the rocket spawns(inside the caged base in the center). If you follow up to where the ramp leads you, you'll end up on the BR platform. However, that platform is all caged, so you can get shot from any direction(you've been warned).

More pics

(here is shotgun room with invisibility)

(rockets spawn on top on shotgun room)

(here you see the BR platform, and the empty coned-in area where the center base spawns)

(as you can tell, the map was left pretty open for warthog use and long range weapons. which is why theres 14 spawns for a BR on the map...its meant to played with 16 players)

Now you might be asking "What did you do with the gravlift??" Well, since it spawns at 90 sec, i really tried to think of something cool to do with it, and this is what i made it do: Once 90sec has passed, there will be a singular base that also spawns in the center after 90sec of game play! Ya thats right! A WHOLE BASE SPAWNS!(be careful if your tearing it up with a warthog, you dont want to be inside the cones once it spawns, or you can say "bye bye" to your warthog along with yourself) Once the center base spawns, there will also be a Spartin Lazer that spawns on top.

(again....try to avoid this...because...)

(...this is what spawns.)

(heres a little look at whats in this newly established base. 4 stickys, 1 regen, 1 lazer. and yes, i purposely made the regen and the 4 sticks spawn before the base spawns because they lay out of the way of the base when it spawns)

In this next picture, as you can tell already, theres alot going on. Its a mini-base for one of the two teams. On the main floor, there is a little armory of weapons, which include two SMG's and two Spikers, as well as two BR's. Now you must make your way up to the second and third floor by jumping on the platforms to the left of the mini-base. On the middle floor, is where i put the Needler(risky move i know...considering the size of the map).On top of coarse is where the sniper spawns, and a cat walk to a better but very open sniping perch. I put fusion coils that spawn every 10 sec to prevent a sniper from over powering too much. its good to get a few kills, but eventually someone will caught on, and kill the fusion coils either killing the sniper, or sending him/her flying w/o shields.

More pics of this mini-base:

(here you see how to get up to the second and third levels. you need to jump from platform to platform)

(a close up on the sniper spawn and the man-canon)

(on the left are the spikers, on the right are the SGM's, and in the corner wall are the 2 BR's. underneith the catwalk is the needler)

Here is where the main base is, and also where most of the team will spawn. I've loaded with 4 BR's to both sides of the map. In the long open box on the left is where the plasma pistol spawns. on top on that box spawns 2 plasma grenades. on the steps to get on the middle sets of boxes spawns a mauler. On the left part of the pic, is the man-cannon strategically placed to where it shoots at the center towards rocket spawns. I also used the back of the map, even though you cant tell here, i have put a bubble shield and a brute shot in the back of the base in the blocked off hallway. Also, the is Overshield in the hallway along with two plasmas.

More pics on the main base:

(mauler is on the step, plasma pistol is in the box, and two sticks on top)

(Here is the hallway where the overshiel is at, along with bubble shields brute shots and plasmas.)

Done. That was my map! Let me know what you think either in here or in the Contest thread.
